Three stories, one story

We’ve read two stories by Edgar Allan Poe; but we didn’t read the real stories, they were simplified versions. You had also read them in Spanish, that time they were complete versions, but not the real ones.
You can read the real The Black Cat and the real The Tell-Tale Heart. The ones that Poe wrote.

I don’t want you to read all the stories, just read some parts of them. Find an interesting word, a word that you don’t understand and look it up in the dictionary (in English). Find another interesting word, don’t look it up; guess its meaning.
Now that you have an idea of three different versions of the same stories, can you compare them?
